Why Fly the Flag of South Vietnam at US Capitol Siege?
Long T. Bui, The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*Long T. Bui* *Politics, The Americas* The South Vietnamese flag recalls Vietnam’s own “failed” democracy – and the people’s struggle to save their nation. The violent mob that laid siege to the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 carried symbols expressing the purpose of their insurrectionist campaign to derail Joe Biden’s electoral certification. Alongside American flags, anti-Semitic banners and Confederate battle flags flew the yellow-and-red striped flag of the former South Vietnam. This confounded many onlookers.

On Empathy for One’s Culture and Tradition
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 2 hours ago
Empathy for one’s culture and tradition is the key to gaining freedom from the past and charting a new future. Those who despise their culture and tradition are overwhelmed by the baggage of history. Their mental resources are squandered in hatefully obsessing about the deeds of their ancestors and historical events, and they become filled with loathing for themselves, their countrymen, and their nation’s culture. All kinds of negative thoughts dull their mind and it becomes impossible for them to move in the direction of a future that is free of the past; thus they remain a prisoner...

President Trump disembarks Marine One at Valley International Airport in Harlingen, Texas on Jan. 12, 2021 (Official White House Photo by Shealah Craighead). And so they impeached him.

If ever a sequence of presidential actions positively required congressional response, a failure of which would render laughable the whole notion of an executive b...

Uriel, 'Nox & Friends - 4 hours ago
Once Again, given the hatred of You Tube and Big Tech, watch this quickly before it also goes down or before they lie about his words. –##– Topics: Law and order, First Amendment, and peaceful transition . –00– A short ago, the House officially impeached President Trump once again with so much haste that there was NO effort at proper due process and without legal representation. They carried it out with all the political posturing and theatrical behavior one has come to expect of their leadership. How sickening. I pray that Nancy Pelosi goes down in history as a seditious … Continue ...

Vaccines actually are a legally defined term, and they're a legally defined term under public health law, they're legally defined term under the CDC and FDA standards. And a vaccine specifically has to stimulate both an immunity within the per...

Could Japan’s Long-Range Prototype Bomber Have Hit America?
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *History, * It wouldn’t have been easy. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The aircraft could have been a threat to the U.S. Navy's fleet earlier in the war, but in 1945 the bombers would have had a hard time getting past the vast air net that protected the American carriers and other warships. Without a forward base, any hopes of striking the United States were also a pipedream. Armchair historians as well as studied academics continue to debate why Nazi Germany failed to develop a long-range bomber before the outbreak of the Second World War. The United States, ...

War News Updates Editor, War News Updates - 5 hours ago
*WNU Editor:* Gab CEO has completely backed up President Trump’s Twitter account before it was deleted, and it is now on Gab! The link is here https://gab.com/realdonaldtrump.
